Something I regularly do, as I drive, is notice how few, if any, blacks you see on road crews. If you do see them, they are the ones holding the flag for stop or slow. Is that because they are too lazy, or the company won't train them for the manual labor jobs higher up on the pay scale? Not easy to work your way up when there are no rungs on the ladder and thorns lining the poles! Some of you could use a course on thinking outside the box to learn how to walk in other people's shoes and get outside of your own narrow head.

If you would get outside the bubble you will see many black and women truck drivers on the interstate highways. I see all kinds of blacks working in construction here in TV. Go into any government office and you will see a greater percentage of black employees than they represent in the total population. I've seen a lot of white guys holding those stop and go signs. Your view is extremely narrow as you never see the successful blacks who overcame far more obstacles. But that ruins the narrative that blacks can't be successful doesn't it.
